About waste and scrap of lead

cpc code 39364 covers the trade of waste and scrap of lead, a vital material in the global economy. Lead is a dense, malleable metal with a wide range of applications, from automotive batteries to radiation shielding. The recycling and reuse of lead-based products is crucial for sustainable resource management, as it reduces the need for mining new lead ore and minimizes environmental impact.

Production process

The production of waste and scrap of lead typically involves the collection, sorting, and processing of various lead-containing products, such as automotive batteries, electronic devices, and construction materials. These items are then melted down, purified, and reformed into new lead ingots or other lead-based products, ready for reuse in manufacturing processes.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of waste and scrap of lead include the collection and aggregation of lead-containing products, as well as the necessary equipment and infrastructure for their processing, such as smelting furnaces, refining equipment, and transportation logistics. Additionally, the industry relies on skilled workers to safely handle and process the lead-based materials.

Production outputs

The primary output of this industry is refined lead, which can be used in the production of 35111 Lead-acid batteries, 25999 Other fabricated metal products, and 23999 Other construction materials, among other applications. The recycling of lead-based products helps to conserve natural resources and reduce the environmental impact of lead mining and processing.
